Shimano's lightest Curado yet, built around a 150-size spool that throws everything from a squarebill to a big worm.
The MagnumLite spool spins up with roughly 10% less starting inertia than a standard spool, which is what lets this reel cast light baits without backlashing you into a bad mood. On Okeechobee that matters — you might be skipping a jig under a dock in the morning and burning a lipless bait across the outside grass line by noon, and the Curado MGL 150 handles both without a reel change. The HAGANE aluminum body doesn't flex when a big one loads it up, and the Cross Carbon drag gives you 13 pounds of stopping power when a fish buries in the hydrilla.
Six models: 6.2:1, 7.4:1 and 8.1:1 gear ratios, each in right- or left-hand retrieve.
- HAGANE Body — rigid aluminum frame that virtually eliminates body flex while fighting fish
- MagnumLite (MGL) Spool — cuts starting inertia about 10% for up to 20% greater casting distance
- SVS Infinity brake system — externally adjustable for consistent spool control, especially with lighter lures
- X-Ship and MicroModule Gearing — pinion supported on both ends for gear durability and a quiet, smooth retrieve
- Cross Carbon Drag — wider drag range and smoother performance than traditional drag material
- Super Free Spool — bearing-supported pinion eliminates spool shaft friction on the cast
- SilentTune — reduces bearing vibration for quieter, smoother spool rotation
- S3D Spool — balanced thin-wall aluminum spool for reduced vibration
